[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Married. One young kid. Divorce not imminent. My spouse wants our DC to go to same school (s) spouse went to growing up. 30k yr average. I think our public schools are fine. I met my spouse at one of the fancy private schools (which I hated and which contributed to my parents lack of retirement savings when they divorced.) [b]Spouse expects me to work additional years in order to make this happen rather than retiring early. [/b] I make double what my spouse does, so not really seeing the payoff from the private school education. Don't want to be locked into a 30k/year commitment that jeopardizes my own retirement so Spouse can re-live the elite lifestyle of spouse's youth. [/quote] Does she work? If not, tell her she can pay for it by going back to work so your retirement isn't affected.[/quote]
